April Path

This is the first decent painting I did. Prior to this piece I'd been struggling with many aspects of oil painting. I'm still struggling of

course

but this piece gave me hope and direction after quite a few weeks of muddling about.

It's a recreation path close to my work. I used to ride on this path every day early in the morning on my way to work. It's very beautiful there in the morning. This painting is actually based on a shot taken in the early evening.
